Sorry if this has already been asked before but I didnāt see nothing. Is there a fan-edit available of the original Italian version in English with the original mono soundtrack and without the awful āil grottoā scene??
I just hit skip on my BD player as it is a self-contained scene.
In a similar vein, with my Once Upon a Time in the West BD I sometimes also try to hit skip as soon as Bronson gets shot at the beginning and hits the ground so I can avoid his ārisingā so to speak.

I occasionally watch separate scenes from these movies but never did these things. I donāt mind the ārising sceneā, but that Grotto scene should be prohibited from any possible future releases

But the Rising scene is much worse, as it destroys one of the magnificent ideas of the film.
The Grotto scene is only a rhythm problem, but not a too big issue in this slightly overlong film.

Yes. It also breaks the nice transition between the gun shot that fells Bronson and the gunshot at the McBainās.
Cheers man, thatās what I tend to do, or just watch the 161 min cut instead solely because of that scene. Since the 4k release Iāve sort of given up hope Iāll ever see Leoneās cut in English 
Couldnāt agree more 
Yes, reason enough to skip that short scene.
I like the grotto scene. 
That is of course a fair point. The scene shouldnāt be there, but it most probably was inserted because people who had scene an early print thought that Harmonica was a ghost. At least, thatās what I found when I was doing some research in relation to this controversial scene.
But still the grotto scene irritates me more, I just canāt stand it. It sounds wrong, looks wrong.
But I noticed that there are people on the face of this world who like it (at least one)
Do not mind the scene. I mind that the original english mono soundtrack is not on many official releases though.
Not much to say, except that itās one of my favourite movies of all time. Eli Wallach shone like he was heaven sent in the lead role, the cinematography is gorgeous to look at, the music is just- oh! So beautiful!
The comedy, the drama, the angry bromanceā¦ everything works for me.
Love all these pictures.
Blondie in the top one is like, āWake up, you!ā
An article on the restoration of Sad Hill Cemetery from last week, really cool to hear about this! Thereās also a place to donate, a āSponsor a Tombā section where you can donate money to clean one of the tombs:

Cool. Sponsor a fictional headstone? Sounds neat.
I think the run is cute.
The bit with the chicken was awkward. As soon as that was over I pretended it never happened. Beautiful set and cinematography as always though.
I have inquiries also about Wallachās Western wear. Tucoās, really.
The first is about those studdedā¦ what do you call them? Those tan flares around his trousers in a good part of the movie. What do you call those?
Also those black boots at the end? Those are nice. I noticed the pretty little pattern on them which is hard to see through all the dirt. Did Simi design them or else where were they bought?
